Add deprecation message for StdEnv/2016.4 and StdEnv/2018.3, change the global default to StdEnv/2020 #61

This would address https://github.com/ComputeCanada/software-stack/issues/132 partly. It deprecates, but does not hide (yet).

bartoldeman commented 11 months ago

ok with the deprecation message. Not sure about removing module-version python/3.7.4 default, will that change the default python in the old stdenv?

mboisson commented 11 months ago

Yes, it would. If we want to keep the same defaults the old stack, we should install ModuleRC recipes from EasyBuild instead of relying on the global modulerc.

mboisson commented 10 months ago

I suggest moving these defaults to a separate MODULERCFILE, which would get appended to the path by the old StdEnv modules

For some strange reason, lmod/modulerc_2016_2018 is missing in this web view, but I can see it in the command line checkout so lgtm

that's because I actually merged this separate modulerc_2016_2018 the other day, so I could test these modified modules
